NEW DELHI, INDIA: Seagate Technology has launched the Cheetah NS hard drive for mission-critical enterprise network storage applications.

Using perpendicular recording technology, the Cheetah NS enables 33 percent more storage per drive to deliver up to 400GBs. The Cheetah NS delivers higher IOPS performance compared with standard 10K-rpm drives. With a seek time of 3.9ms, and operating at 10K-rpm, random performance has been increased by 10 percent, while sequential performance has improved by as much as 23 percent. The Cheetah NS is also available in the most advanced interfaces, 3Gb/sec Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) or 4Gb/sec Fibre Channel, Seagate said in a statement.

Sherman Black, senior vice president and general manager, Seagate Enterprise Compute business, said, "The Cheetah NS, with its energy-saving PowerTrim technology, complements Seagate's enterprise drive lineup to provide the high capacity, reliability, and performance required for network storage. From the highest transactional performers that include our Cheetah 15K.5 and Savvio 15K models, to drives built for nearline enterprise storage such as our Barracuda ES, Seagate continues to deliver the premier storage solutions for a wide range of enterprise needs."
